MOSCOW—Russia’s mutinous mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was shown in a video on Wednesday welcoming his fighters to Belarus, telling them they would take no further part in the Ukraine war for now but ordering them to gather their strength for Africa.

The footage, reposted by his press service on Telegram, is the first video evidence of Mr. Prigozhin’s whereabouts since the night of the mutiny.
